Beschreibung

Two girls on opposite sides of a war discover they're fighting for a common purpose―and falling for each other―in Zoe Hana Mikuta's high-octane debut Gearbreakers, perfect for fans of Pacific Rim, Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga, and Marie Lu's Legend series.

We went past praying to deities and started to build them instead...

The shadow of Godolia's tyrannical rule is spreading, aided by their giant mechanized weapons known as Windups. War and oppression are everyday constants for the people of the Badlands, who live under the thumb of their cruel Godolia overlords.

Eris Shindanai is a Gearbreaker, a brash young rebel who specializes in taking down Windups from the inside. When one of her missions goes awry and she finds herself in a Godolia prison, Eris meets Sona Steelcrest, a cybernetically enhanced Windup pilot. At first Eris sees Sona as her mortal enemy, but Sona has a secret: She has intentionally infiltrated the Windup program to destroy Godolia from within.

As the clock ticks down to their deadliest mission yet, a direct attack to end Godolia's reign once and for all, Eris and Sona grow closer―as comrades, friends, and perhaps something more...

Praise for Gearbreakers:

"An absolute joyride ... Zoe Hana Mikuta is a talent to be in awe of." ―Chloe Gong, New York Times-bestselling author of These Violent Delights

"Dark, fierce, thrilling, and tender, Gearbreakers will make your blood sing." ―Nina Varela, author of Crier's War

Well written but...

The world building was lacking for me, especially since it's sci-fi. There was enough of it for the story but not a drop more which is sad. In my opinion a map and a mecha anatomy illustration was also missing, since it was pretty hard to imagine the mechas. Also the fighting scenes were hard to follow for me sometimes. I did like the sitcommy banter and characters though, they're fun :) Maybe this book would've been better as a comic/animated series. Since the romance was lacking aswell i can only give this the star rating below. Maybe the second part can convince me to give more. 2.8/5 🌟

welp... i don't know what to think of this. on one hand it's a very good book and i really enjoyed reading this and i will DEFINITELY read the sequel but on the other hand it's nothing new (think neon genesis and iron widow) and the protagonists are literal CHILDREN (which to be honest is a point that is critiqued in the book itself)

Slow burn, good romance, will read the next part

Gearbreakers hat es geschafft, etwas hinzubekommen, von dem ich dachte, dass es so nicht möglich ist: drei meiner liebsten Elemente, sapphische Liebesgeschichten, Dystopien und Mechas mit einem meiner am wenigsten Elemente, nämlich wirklich langsame slow burn-Geschichten, zu vereinen und dabei einfach nur unfassbar toll und spannend zu sein. Setting, Charaktere und der sehr spezielle Schreibstil ziehen einen einfach nur in ihren Bann und machen jedes Kapitel zu einer Besonderheit - trotz der wirklich frustrierenden Tatsache, dass die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Sona und Eris sich vieeeeel zu langsam entwickelt hatte. Ich hatte schon gar nicht mehr mit einem Kuss gerechnet. Wenn man sich anschaut, wie viele verpasste Möglichkeiten es für weitere gegeben hätte, ist das schon etwas traurig. Aber die unfassbar tolle Charakteren, allen voran unsere Protagonist*innen und Jenny, lassen einen das verzeihen. Bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass der zweite Teil genauso gut wird oder sogar vielleicht noch besser!

DNF'd it like 50 pages in. I wanted to like this. The premise is hella cool and I love me a good mecha. But oh lord, the writing. I struggle with first person perspective at the best of times, but the characters put me off on multiple occasions, I just couldn't do it. I don't wanna be in these kids' heads if they just post cringe all the time. Again, I wanted to like this. A shame, really.
